Chicago experienced dozens of shootings with several of them fatal during the Democratic National Convention, the Washington Times reported. It followed a bloody weekend leading up to the convention as the party that made the Windy City so dangerous turned out to celebrate its presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris.
The DNC lasted from August 19 to 22, culminating Thursday night with Harris' official nomination. However, outside the convention center and all of its splendor was a bloodbath that is par for the course in the Democrat-controlled city.
Even as President Joe Biden spoke about a recent in national crimes nationally on the first night of the convention, there were eight shootings, four of which were fatal in Chicago. There was also an armed robbery as Democrats convened in the city.
The next night brought an aggravating battery shooting and 12 victims from a total of five more shootings. The third night was just as bloody, with a stabbing as well as nine shootings impacting 13 victims, including one fatality.
The weekend before the convention also brought violence and death in a troubling trend for the city. Although estimates varied about the actual number of victims, WLS-TV reported at least 30 shootings, with five fatalities as preparations were underway at the United Center.
One of those included a 17-year-old who died at an area hospital after being wounded in the stomach and back, according to WTTW-TV. He and a 16-year-old were shot Saturday night as they stood on a porch in a residential neighborhood.
This comes after a summer of violence, including a bloody July 4th weekend when 109 people were shot, with 19 of them fatally wounded, the New York Post reported. Police were out in force for the convention that championed the Democratic Party, which only a few years ago denigrated law enforcement.
"Our officers are out there. They're out there. They're highly visible," Chicago Police Department Superintendent Larry Snelling said Monday, according to Fox News.
"And we have officers not only along the corridors downtown, in and around the venues of the Democratic National Convention, but also in our neighborhoods to continue to protect our people who are living in areas that are the most vulnerable. Our officers are protecting the entire city," Snelling added.
Judging from the wake of the destruction their policies leave, it's clear that Democrats are the party of chaos and disorder. Besides the normal crime in Chicago, Democrats also drew anti-Isreal protesters on the fourth day of the convention.
As Fox News reported, several protesters waved Palestinian flags, clashed with counterprotesters, and taunted police. "You guys are the ones with guns!" one of the protestors shouted at the police.
Just like with crime, Democrats are attempting to play both sides of the issue in the war between Israel and Hamas. While trying to court anti-Israel groups, the party sidled up to Israel at the convention by snubbing a pro-Palestine speaker, The Hill reported.
Although Democrats accuse former President Donald Trump of being divisive, they are the ones who routinely sow chaos and discord with their policies. Whether it is support against America's allies or abolishing police, Democrats do the exact thing that will bring misery and social decay every time.
It's the same reason Chicago was in shambles as the Democratic Party showcased its platform and politicians. Ironically, they made their case for the White House in a place full that shows their policies only bring violence, death, and civil unrest.
